Early in 1973, George began working on a new album. It was called ' Living In The Material World'. When it was released May 30 1973, both the album and a song ' Give Me Love Give Me Peace On Earth' shot up to the top of the chart.
Realizing that Paul was right about Allen Klein, his contract was not renewed. With the help of Billy Preston, Marc Bolan and Harry Nilsson, Ringo Starr recorded his first solo album. From the album, ' Photograph' became a hit song. The song topped certified gold in the US. At the same time, George broke a Beatles rule. He began an affair with Ringo's wife Maureen. 
In 1974, Eric Clapton was turning his life around. He overcame heroin addiction with neuroelectric therapy. He recorded a new album called ' 461 Ocean Boulevard'. He had a hit with a song called ' I Shot The Sheriff'. 
George broke his contract with Apple. He started his own label. He called it Dark Horse.
